Can anyone ever imagine Glenn Johnson saying no?

Great test for Bute.

Glen is a warrior.

Dawson x2 Tarverx2 RJJ, Cloud, Froch,Grffin, Hopkins Woodsx2, Ottke, Harding, Green.

And now Bute.

He fights everyone.

Exactly,the true ROAD WARRIOR!!!GREAT GLEN.

Smart call by Quillin.

He's not ready.

Probably will look like a sparring match with Bute winning a lop-sided decision win. These two boxers spar with each other. Fights are always weird when the two fighters know each other like friends. Tho, ppl can bring up the fact that Johnson and Green were friends and Johnson KO'd him. But I don't think Johnson and Green have sparred in a long time before they had fought.

Lol, true i can't picture Glen crying because he gets paid millions... Glen is the man ! im sure he would be a tougher test than Pavlik.

Reading the article, it doesn't seem like either have actually been offered the fight or even had preliminary discussions yet.

Maybe he should offer a fight to Golovkin and see if he can remain conscious this time around.

Johnson is a warrior.. Will fight anyone at anytime... Respect! Quillin can easily fight at 168... Seen him at the Wild Card , dude walks aroung 185-190 easy.. Dude is an atheletic specimen...He's rangy, strong, good on his feet.. But I think it's more he knows that Butte will throw crazy angles out of no where, and he hasn't fought the level of boxers yet as Butte and more that he might not be ready! But at 160, he's got Pirog, Sturm, Golovkin and his boy JCC! LOL...So he's not really gonna have an easy time at his weight class either... Few more fights under Freddy I think kid will be ready...! War- Kid Chocolate!
